Ocucaje Lost Canyon tour from Paracas

+50 reviews

Embark on an adventure full of excitement accompanied by a professional guide who will take you to a breathtaking view of the Lost Canyon of Ocucaje, located just 3 hours from Paracas.

This place is recognized as a key paleontological site where huge creatures lived millions of years ago, during the Eocene period.

In recent years, the Lost Canyon of Ocucaje has become a popular destination for trekking enthusiasts seeking new routes in the Peruvian desert. It was discovered in 2011 by a group of local people who, in their attempt to reach it, got lost in the ravines.

When they finally managed to find the right path, they decided to call it “Lost Canyon of Ocucaje” in honor of all the people who ever tried to discover this unique place.

Outstanding experience. Had a ton of fun on the dune drive. Guide was very kind and attentive.

We had a fantastic experience flying over the Nasca Lines! Everything was well-organized, and the flight went smoothly from start to finish.

We had a great time on this tour! Our dune buggy drivers adjusted to our needs-my kids wanted to go fast and I wanted to go slow and they accommodated. They were super skilled and kind. Everything was taken care of for us. They made it easy and fun!

Eder era el mejor proveedor de servicios en nuestras vacaciones en Perú! Tengo que decir que cambié de opinión muchas veces sobre las actividades que queríamos reservar y él siempre estaba allí pacientemente haciendo todo lo posible para hacernos felices.
